Evan and Jen

These are my youngest kittens, Evan and Jen.  Brother and sister brown tabbies that were found in the yard of one of our other foster moms, Angie, who fosters dogs.  I had the nursery open and took them.  There's no such thing as an ugly kitten, and these two are a perfect example.  They're just adorable.  I know I say that about every kitten and cat I get, but when you spend so much time with any animal, they become cuter and more special.  Since they were only a few weeks old when I got them, I bottle fed them formula, then a slurry I make of formula, baby rice cereal, and canned kitten food.  I have a couple bottle nipples that I've cut the top off of so the thick mixture can easily be sucked by the kittens.  They love it so much, I have to make sure they don't get too much at a time.  After a week or so of that, they graduate to canned mixed with Royal Canin BabyCat dry food, then to dry food with a couple servings of canned a day.  Everybody eats well at my house.


Evan is slightly darker in color than Jen.  She has more white on her face and chest and has four white paws.  Tonight they were paroled from the nursery, the walk-in-closet, and let into the bedroom.  They were so excited to be let out.  They were running all over the place and chasing each other.  Sure made it hard to take pictures.  I was so entertained watching them that I missed so many photo ops of their antics.  These are the best I got.  They're about 6 weeks old now and will get their testing and spay/neuter in about three weeks.  Then, they'll be ready for adoption - just in time for Christmas.

  1. Ohhh, they are too cute. I want to know when you're gonna name one of your babies after me, though!

  2. Sandy, I will name my next female kitten Sandy. I never know if my friends do or don't want a kitten named after them, so thanks for letting me know. I've never had a group of females (always more boys than girls), but if I do, I could name them after the Tue girls. Evan and Jen are John's nephew and his wife, and they're just as cute as the kittens. I didn't ask them, but they'll probably never know.

  3. Yay!!! I can't seem to be able to get a grand-daughter so no chance of getting one of those named after me. I'll be happy for a kitty to be named after me!!!!
